Motorola Feedback Network

My experience with the MFN thus far has been positive. I would encourage Motorola Xoom (and other Moto Device) owners to sign up for this feedback network. According to their community manager Matt who regularly posts in the forums there they are expanding this program.
Currently, members of the MFN who signed up prior to the 3.1 release are pretty much all enjoying the benefits in the form of being the first handful to have 3.1 pushed to their device. This group of people have been for the last 24 hours running their devices through its paces.
This morning, Motorola tweeted that the update would be pushed out over the coming week(s) and at this point the baton is in the hands of Google.

I joined MFN and I am very happy to have done so.

Waste of time for those of us outside the US, they don't care about keeping us informed or even helping without information on updates.

Revisiting Chameleon !

I know your wondering why didn't I put this in the original thread. I felt that that post had had it's run & this would be extremely valuable to a lot of people even folks who hadn't read the original. This is an extensive interview with the developer & gives a very insightful overview of the tablet industry. I would really appreciate all of your thoughts/views on it.
Thanks,

mmm I wonder what happened, just saw this checking the kickstarter:
Funding Canceled
Funding for this project was canceled by the project creator about 3 hours ago.

Either they sold it to someone else, or they went bust, or they realised they couldn't pull off their promises.

And it's none of the above

They had the member of their team in charge of the amazon payment account leave, so they have to re-open the kickstarter account under a new name, supposed to happen in a few days, below are the updates they gave supporters.
Hi Kickstarters,
What a strange week it has been. We went from a giant high to what might be a big low. Kickstarter is an amazing platform but a really difficult one for anyone outside of the United States. In order to set up a kickstarter account, you have to use Amazon Payments and in order to use Amazon Payments you have be an American citizen. Luckily for us, we had that covered. At least we did until today. As with any team, you can't expect all the members to stay part of the team forever. One team member's departure meant the departure of the Amazon Payment account. We are currently setting up another account and should have that done within a day and we are doing our best to contact Kickstarter to ask that we simply switch Amazon Payment accounts. As of the time of writing this post, I'm not sure if that will work. The worst case situation is that the project gets suspended. Suspended projects on Kickstarter are never renewed.
So, I am sending out this update in case the project gets suspended. If it does get suspended, please contact us at: http://www.teknision.com/chameleon-news. We are fully committed to launching Chameleon. Nothing will stop us from taking it to market. We still plan on honouring you, our backers, who have made this possible. I can only be honest in what is going on and promise to do our best to make everything good.
Keep the faith, fingers crossed and stay tuned.
Hi Everyone.
After speaking with the good folks at Kickstarter, we can now confirm that they will not be able to switch our Amazon payments account - it is simply not possible to 'swap' when you are dealing with credit card processing and authorizations. While it is disappointing, we understand these protocols are there for good reason. To protect your financial information.
Unfortunately this means we will have to manually 'close' this project, and your pledged amounts will not be charged. We are very sorry for this inconvenience -believe me, this is not the kind of customer experience we wanted to deliver.
There is some good news however. Kickstarter have told us we are allowed to initiate a new project and can accept your pledges there!
The only catch is that once we have the new project live, you will have to go and re-pledge on the new project (we will give you the new project link when it becomes available). We understand the inconvenience this may cause, which is why, for your time and patience, we will be upgrading all of the rewards with an additional 5 Chameleon backgrounds. We are aiming to have the new Kickstarter project live by early next week.
I hope you understand, and bear with us as we get over this hurdle. If you are disappointed with us, I understand that too. As I stated before, we have every intention of delivering world class software to our customers. We love the passion that Chameleon has sparked and we intend to develop long lasting relationships with our customers.
Stay tuned for new instructions next week, and thanks for your patience.
Hi everyone!
Today we are working on closing the current Chameleon project. While Kickstarter and Amazon payments have been very helpful and supportive, based on our discussions with them, the best solution is to start a new project. By closing the current project, there is no question about our intentions with your current pledges. You are also free to cancel your own pledge.
We are working to get the new Chameleon Kickstarter project up for next week, so stay tuned.
Even with this project being closed, we will still be able to share the link to the new Kickstarter project. Don't forget, your existing pledges will not be charged. Expect an update next week.
In the meantime, we have included a development update for everyone. With some surprises. So enjoy!

How do Canadians contribute?

Well, that sounds like a massively annoying situation to be in. For someone to leave that suddenly too, doesn't seems like it was amicable...
I hope they can sort out the problems without too many more difficulties.

OnePlus marketing strategy? (Anyone interested on being interviewed?)

Hey Guys!
I am writing dissertation about OnePlus marketing and their marketing strategy. My research is focused on consumer decision making process, the tipping point theory (invitational model of oneplus) and I am looking 3-5 people to interview. It doesn’t matter if you love or hate your OnePlus, all feedback is appreciated.
I am conducting the interviews on skype (only voice, no need for video communication), or if you are in Barcelona I can also meet you. I have no rewards to give to the participants, except the change for us to network and who knows in future do business together.
If anyone of you would be interested on having a quick chat on OnePlus, I would highly appreciate it. Also all the feedback about OnePlus and their marketing is highly appreciated.
With best regards,
Allar

I can't do the Skype but please see my experience with OnePlus service below:
I have recently ordered several One Plus Two accessories from OnePlus. They sent the wrong items in the two packages that I ordered. I called their Help Line and had to wait for half an hour for someone to pick up the call. I also tried the Online Chat and my number was simply skipped over.
When someone from the OnePlus Support Line eventually answered my call, I was told to send photos and my issue would be given high priority. A ticket was opened for me and I replied with photos attached. No reply after a day so I called again and was told that my issue has now been given top priority and was asked to wait for 48 hrs for reply. After 36 hrs, there was still no reply so I called again and was told they couldn't get through to their logistic department.
As I needed to use the item immediately on my new phone, I re-ordered the item that was not sent in the original package while waiting for OnePlus to sort out the problem. That item was issued with a tracking number that Royal Mail (post office in the UK) can't recognise with the comment that it's a wrong number. I called the OnePlus Support Line and was told she couldn't get through to the Logistic Department but Royal Mail can't track item less than 500g. I then called Royal Mail and was told that items less than 500g CAN be tracked.
OnePlus then replied to my ticket to ask me to post photos again and showed me photos examples of DHL packaging with the delivery note. The thing is, Royal Mail packaging is different and it doesn't have delivery note. I can't produce the DHL package and delivery slip when they sent the items to me by Royal Mail.
Really terrible service. They have no idea how to provide service to developed countries. I have yet to use my new One Plus Two phone. I am waiting for the accessory (that never arrived) to start using my phone. Having read a few comments about phone defects, and with my own experiences of their terrible services, I am really worried if my phone is not working well.
If you have problem and require their service, you have to prove that they made the mistake before they will rectify it. The Support Line is very hard to get through. The instructions on the ticket are also not entirely clear. Expect a 3rd world service if you are from developed countries. Like the justice system in China, they have to be proved wrong, and wait for a long trial, before you get your justice.

Thank you for the interest!
Thanks for the increase and thanks also for the negative feedback. All feedback/experiences are welcome.
I am still looking for 1-2 people to interview. If you are interested send me a message or post here.
With best regards

Hi! I would be interested as well. Although my vocabulary is not that strong but i'm sure we would be able to have a good conversation. Hit me with the timings and details.

Im willing to participate and help you with your marketing dissertation, I'm currently completing my marketing minor for my degree, and would love to dissect Oneplus' Marketing strategy as well, i find it very interesting.
Unfortunately Im in the U.S., so Skype might be difficult, but PM me if you need another participant, maybe Hangouts could work.
Best of luck with your study and research

Mission to obtain LE1 Pro X800 US edition source code

Hi Guys,
I am fairly certain that many of you will have been as frustrated as I am about LeEco's response to our requests for the source code for our devices. Many of us have been met with we did not release the phone to the US market so please contact the 3rd Party seller. You and i know that this is an unacceptable stance and in breach of the GNU etc.
I think it's time for all frustrated owners to show LeEco what we think of their stance, and take a stance of our own as many of us have already started to do, and see if we can twist their arm a bit. The best way in my opinion is to hurt the company where it hurts most, and that's in the pocket and in the public eye. I therefore recommend that all users go to their face book account and leave a review of 1 star and explain why. Making sure you also mention our device in the comments section. This is bound to hurt and just over the last day i have seen their review score drop a few points. Now if everyone who signed the petition did this they would likely have a score near 1 out of 5. Which is roughly what I would give their service just now.
I have also been instructed by Lemall.US to email their opensource team a request to release the code which I have done and hope many will take time out to do the same.
Keep in mind we have been treated completely different to the buyers of the CN model who seem to get endless updates. While we get BS!
All of these reviews can be changed in the future if they release the source code and let us be free of their crappy, malware firmware.
Here are the links
https://www.facebook.com/LeMallUSA/
https://www.facebook.com/LeEcoIndia/
https://www.facebook.com/LeEcoGlobal/
email for opensource request
[email protected].*

Seems to be definitely working, now at 87 one star reviews and certainly LeMall US Team have taken notice, but we must keep the pressure up.
48 hours have now passed and 49 reviews by US X800 Users.
What can we achieve at this rate in the next 48 hours?.
This is awesome considering the Campaign is in its infancy and only went live on a few other sites last night so hopefully it will pick up exponentially over the next few days. Like the petition on change.org did.
We need to try and aim for at least another 63 reviews, so that we equal their 5 star reviews and they will hit the 2.5 rating, but obviously the more the better, so keep on spreading the word.
Still no further news from LeEco since this morning and not so much as an acknowledgement from le.opensource. But i am in communication with them in all channels and not giving up.
I honestly believe we are not far from cracking this.
I will keep everyone updated with any new developments as soon as I hear.
Awesome effort so far guys!
Respect!

Thanks for putting effort into LeEco finally giving us the source code.
Just posted a 1 star review. Currently it seems they are on a 4,0 star average with 772 votes.
We need more votes!

Posted a one star review.
We need more votes!!!
Desmond thank you for the great idea!

.....

Hahaha, leeco is treating it's costumers like we're toddlers ! They removed two threads that i posted on their website http://forum.le.com/us/index.php?forums/technical-discussion.26/
I've got them back from Google cache but i can't post them on their FB because i don't use FB to let people know how touchy this company is.
And such a company tries tol make it in US and Europe, with this attitude they can forget it !

Calling LOS ANGELES Android/Samsung Users

Hey folks,
Long time user (and prior to that, long time lurker) on these forums - but today, I'm posting with a random, unusual request.
I'm trying to find Android fans in Los Angeles who may be available to help me with a little TV filming this coming Monday (26th June).
Long story short - my day job is as a TV reporter in Los Angeles.. I work for a global news channel called CGTN America (we broadcast out of Washington DC, Beijing and Nairobi to around about 1.2 billion homes worldwide.. including in the US on cable and satellite, though most of our viewers tend to come internationally)..
Since I'm a huge tech-head, I'm filming a story to go out later this week on ten years of the iPhone. But I want to make it different. What often happens with these stories is some networks get reporters who know nothing about technology to do them, and you end up with something that is just saying 'the iPhone is the most amazing device ever invented.'
Regardless of what side of the fence you sit on, it is an amazing device. And it did have a revolutionary impact. But there is so much to the story other than that.
One of the angles I really want to explore is the battle between iOS and Android. The way that the iPhone almost set the lines for a war. You see it on forums like this and XDA and Apple-related forums - people trying to outdo each other.. and people getting really irate as they nail their colors to the mast of their OS of choice.
I wondered if there may be some Android fans in the LA area who I could meet up with on Monday, if we can arrange a convenient time and we film a little sequence (details of which, I'm still to work out in my head) but talking about the iOS vs Android wars. This may be just Android users or it may an Android user and an iPhone user both debating what's best about their relevant OS.
It's still a germ of an idea. But I wanted to throw it out there and hope it gets seen over the weekend.
I'm gonna post this over on Android Central as well to try to maximize the number of people who see it and also on the General Android Chat Forum here. The reason for the double post is that in my experience, the real ire is often between Samsung and Apple fans (reflecting the companies, almost) and so there may be people in that board that this really appeals to..
Anyway, please do reply to me on here, or via DM, or via twitter @phillavelle.
Thanks for looking and have a great day!
Phil

Hi Phil,
I’d be happy to offer some of my time to you forthis endeavor. I’ve lurked on these forums since long before iOS or Android even existed. If you are indeed serious about this I can provide you with my full name which you can then quickly google to see my credentials.
I can play either side of the discussion as I have been a mobile technology consultant for about two decades and have owned (and still own and use both iOS and Android) devices from all major manufacturers.
